What is CNC Milling?
CNC milling is one of the most often practiced forms of all the cnc operations. Milling is used to do drilling, turning and sometimes even cutting. The machines are classified according to how many axes they have. In cnc milling, these axes are labeled x and y for vertical movement and z for horizontal movement. Standard CNC milling machines usually have four axes: Tables x, y and z and milling head z. A five axis machine has an extra axis for the horizontal milling head. This gives extra flexibility to the machine.
